You are doing a genetics experiment with Drosophlia melanogaster, the fruit fly. In the "P" generation, you cross 2 true-breeding flies. The female parent is brown and wingless and the male parent is black with normal wings. All the flies in the F1 generation are brown and have normal wings. Assume that the genes are not found on sex chromosomes. Indicate color alleles as "B" for brown, "b" for black, "W" for normal wings, "w" for wingless.
You cross a true-breeding yellow-bodied, smooth-winged female fly with a true-breeding red-bodied, crinkle-winged male. The red body phenotype is dominant to the yellow body phenotype and smooth wings are dominant to crinkled wings. Use B or b for body color alleles, and W or w for wing surface alleles.(4 points) a) What are the genotypes of the P generation flies? b) What will be the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of the F1 offspring? c) You discover that the genes for body color and wing surface are linked. You perform a dihybrid test cross between the F1 flies from part (b) with a true-breeding yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. Use the following results of this cross to determine the recombination frequency (%) between the body color and wing surface genes. (Remember that the recombinants are the ones that do not resemble the parental types from the P generation.)

In Drosophila, the brown mutation (bw, chromosome 2, position 104.5) results in brown eyes, while miniature (min, chromosome X, position 36.1) results in wings that are 2/3 the length of wild type. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males with brown eyes and miniature wings. Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses. P1 F1 Fill in the chart with phenotypic ratios that would be expected in the F2 generation. Use the space provided to show your work. Phenotype Females Males Overall (♀and ♂) =1 =1 =1
Two pure-breeding strains of flies are mated, and the F1 are intercrossed. The first strain has curled wings and black bodies. The second strain has straight wings and brown bodies. The F2 progeny are 271 straight wings with brown bodies, 31 curled wings with black bodies, 94 curled wings with brown bodies and 90 straight wings with black bodies. If instead of the above, assume the wing shape gene and the body color gene are completely linked. From parents that are curled winged with brown bodies mated to straight winged with black bodies, what would be the outcome of an F1 intercross? (Specify the phenotypes and the frequency of each expected).
In the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons, flowering breeding is based in genetics. Each flower's color is determined by the genotype at three or four unlinked genes: R, Y, W, and S. The genotype of the elusive blue rose is RR YY ww ss. In the game, one way to get a blue rose is to cross two roses with the Rr Yy Ww ss genotype. A) What types of gametes and in what proportions will a Rr Yy Ww ss rose produce? B) In a cross Rr Yy Ww ss x Rr Yy Ww ss what are the possible offspring genotypes and at what frequency will they each appear? Show your work. C) What proportion of the offspring of the cross will be blue roses?
A female from true breeding line of Drosophila with white eyes is crossed with a male from a true breeding line with brown eyes. All of the offspring have wild type brick red eyes. Which of the following explanations is most likely? A) There are many alleles for the single gene for eye color. Wild type brick red eyes result only when the fly is heterozygous. B) The alleles for brown, white, and brick red eyes are alleles for a single locus. The allele for brown eye color is dominant to the allele for brick red eye color and to the allele for white eyes. C) There is more than one gene for eye color. The brown mutation and the white mutation occur in separate genes and are both recessive to the wild type alleles. The offspring are heterozygous for both genes, so they are phenotypically wild type. D) None of the above. It is not possible for a cross between a white-eyed and a brown-eyed fly to produce wild type offspring.
In Drosophila, the allele for red eyes (pt) is wild-type and the allele for purple eyes (p¯) is mutant. The allele for grey body (b+) is wild-type and the allele for black body (b¯) is mutant. Flies with p*p* b*b* genotypes are mated with flies that have p p- b¯b¯ genotypes. A testcross was then performed in which the F1 offspring with p*p¯ b*b¯ genotypes were mated with flies with p p¯ b¯b genotypes. Ten-thousand flies were produced from this test cross. The following results were observed: 4,300 red eye, grey body flies 550 red eye, black body flies 4,500 purple eye, black body flies 650 purple eye, grey body flies Which F2 phenotypes are parental types? Which F2 phenotypes are recombinant types? What is the distance between the gene loci for eye color and body color? Use the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the following questions. p+q = 1 p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
In the fruit fly, dumpy wings (d) and purple eyes (p) are encoded by mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild type traits; long wings (d+) and red eyes (p+). These two genes are on the same chromosome. In a particular lab, two researchers Walt and Jesse crossed a fly homozygous for dumpy wings and purple eyes with a fly homozygous for the wild type traits. The F1 progeny, which had long wings and red eyes, was then crossed with flies that had dumpy wings and purple eyes. Unfortunately, the progeny of this cross somehow escaped. To prevent their other projects from contamination, they decided to spend an exceptionally boring hour in the lab catching and counting the progeny and found the following: long wings, red eyes – 482 dumpy wings, purple eyes – 473 long wings, purple eyes – 23 dumpy wings, red eyes - 22 What is the genetic distance between these two loci? a. 4.5 cM b. 55 cM c. 45 cM d. 49.5 cM e. 4.7 cM
In fruit flies, red eyes (pr+_) are dominant to purple eyes (prpr) and normal wings (vg+_) are dominant to vestigial wings (vgvg). The genes are located on the same chromosome. A purebreeding red-eyed fly with vestigial wings was crossed with a pure-breeding purple-eyed fly with normal wings. All of the F1 progeny had a WT phenotype. The recombination frequency between the two genes is 15%. If an F1 individual was test crossed, what percentage of the progeny would you expect to have the WT phenotype
In Drosophila, the sepia mutation (se, chromosome 3, position 26) results in dark brown eyes, while cinnabar (cn, chromosome 2, position 57.5) results in bright orange-red eyes. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males homozygous recessive for both traits. Using Drosophila notation, diagram the P1 and F1 crosses. P1 F1 Fill in the chart with phenotypic ratios that would be expected in the F2 generation. Use the space provided to show your work. Phenotype Females Males Overall (♀and ♂) =1 =1
Vestigial wing is a recessive autosomal mutation in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Wild-type flies have red eyes, but another mutation, an X-linked recessive mutation causes white eyes. You cross a parental generation of males with vestigial wings with females that have white eyes. 1) What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the F1 generation from such a cross? What phenotypes do you observe in these flies? (e.g. males with red eyes and wild-type wings). 2) What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the F2 generation? What phenotypes do you observe in these flies?
